- Science
Episode 19 is the third episode in KDIGO's three-episode series on acute kidney injury (AKI), hosted by Dr. Kathleen Liu (University of California at San Francisco, United States).
In this episode, Dr. Liu and Dr. Claudio Ronco (International Renal Research Institute of San Bortolo Hospital, Italy) discuss recent advancements and best practices surrounding Extracorporeal Blood Purification within the complex scenario of multiorgan support. This thought-provoking discussion, explores:
Recent clinical trials suggesting minimal benefits of early CRRT in AKI for critically ill patients. The conversation delves into whether these findings translate to patients experiencing multiorgan failure, exploring the potential differentiating factors.
The potential of CRRT to extend beyond renal support. The discussion explores how CRRT might offer support to other vital organs in the setting of multiorgan system failure.
The role of current CRRT technology in eliminating inflammatory mediators. Dr. Ronco sheds light on the capabilities of current technology and its potential impact on the inflammatory response.
Join Dr. Liu and Dr. Ronco for an insightful exploration of extracorporeal blood purification’s evolving role in optimizing care for critically ill patients.
